The Last Rays of Light

More lovely sky. That highlight from center to top middle-right looks artificial.

This is one of my favorite photos of this series. I have about 5 more of this sunset that show the before and after lighting. The rays only lasted maby two min. or so. By the way this is so far the only picture that I have sold at 20x30. It had very tight grain too. I like the comments also.

I prefer this over the pic with no foreground. The sky retains its drama, and the sunrays make for an unusual effect ... seldom do we see rays shooting "up" from the sun like here. But what really sets this pic off from the other one is the foreground. The trees give the picture a sense of scale without being a distraction. Nice shot!

Sunset on the farm.

The sun rays really make this shot. Great colors here.

hilites aren't artificial those are crepescular rays. nice shot btw

Nice shot Eric. Keep looking for the sun rays, you have a good eye for them.

Spectacular sunset.

 

I was really amazed at the number of viewers who rated this photo so differently; from 1/1 to 10/10.

 

You surely have some enemies on the photo.net.

 

and a very good picture. I like sunsets, and I am always looking to catch a nice one. But I never succeed in taking a picture withe the dramatic impact of this one.

 

The rays make the images of course, but the delicate color range contribute also for an important part in the atmosphere of the picture. The rays support also the composition. A very good photo !
